christie, by governor cuomo, by gov. malloy, by mere bloomberg and by so many others. the documented need. again, it will not make everyone whole emotionally and their personal belongings and their memories and the rest. but it is a sign of respect. we cannot let what happened stand and that the forces will be there to try to return them to some sense of order and home and home life. so i don't know if any decision has been made. i hope not. i hope that, as the leadership needs and considers an agenda or a possible agenda for tomorrow, they would reconsider this. because this goes deep into the hearts of people as they feel a sense of helplessness to something they had no responsibility for, a natural disaster. remember last year when we visited some places where homes were uprooted. it is home, wind and fire. when something like that happens, it is the wind, the water, the fires, every kind of thing assaulting people. let's not be part of that assault by putting doubts in their mind as to whether there's appreciation for what they have lost, a respect for who they are

and the people who have been damaged by sandy, including governor christie a republican, and governor cuomo should be deeply disappointed and angry that this congress would adjourn without addressing the pain of our fellow citizens. i have been to new york. i have walked the beaches. i have seen their homes that have been destroyed with my colleague, greg meeks. i have talked to to members of congress. congressman crowley, congressman pallone, congressman rothman, all who have had their citizens deeply damaged by the ravages of the perhaps storm of historical proportions that struck the northeast. none of us is immune, not from a tornado, flood or a fire. i deeply regret that i can't change this opinion, but it's not what we ought to be doing that. there are republicans that are grieved by this action and democrats on this floor who are deeply grieved by this action. this is not the right thing to do. i would hope it would be reconsidered. we have asked our members to stay here. every one of them. knowing full well they wanted to go home, just for a day toe see their families. mr. speaker,
